. . . .
The wind howled outside, carrying with it the scent of rain and the promise of impending storm. Silas tossed a last-minute pair of cargo pants into the duffel as Allison double-checked their supplies. A small, digital clock on the wall blinked ominously—two minutes until the hour. They had already been preparing for this moment for days, ever since that fateful day when Shadow and Hellfire, their dragons, had unfurled their massive wings to the delight of the unsuspecting internet.
The video had gone viral, drawing millions of views, and, inevitably, the attention of those who sought to control every piece of extraordinary in this world—the military. With bittersweet determination, the trio made a choice: to run. Tennessee had become a hunting ground, and they were the prey.
“Is everything in?” Silas asked, his voice a mixture of anxiety and urgency. The tension crackled in the air like the rising storm outside.
“Yes, but we still need to get to the clearing” Allison replied, scratching her long blonde hair in frustration. “I just hope we can make it in time.”
Lucifer nodded, His eyes shimmered with determination, but fear lurked beneath. They all understood the risk of leaving their dragons behind.
Before they could say another word, a crash reverberated through the small cabin. Silas turned just in time to see the door splinter under a powerful kick. Men in dark uniforms armed with military gear flooded into the room, their faces obscured by the shadows of high-tech helmets.
“Get down!” shouted one of the soldiers, his voice booming with authority.
For a heartbeat, they froze, their minds racing. The soldiers had come for one thing: their dragons. This wasn’t just a kidnapping; this was war.
“Run!” Lucifer yelled, finding his focus amidst the chaos. he grabbed Silas’s wrist, pulling him toward the back door while Allison darted to cut off the path of their pursuers.
“Wait! They won't harm you. Just cooperate!” another soldier pleaded, but his words fell on deaf ears.
With their hearts pounding like war drums, the trio propelled themselves into the pouring rain, slipping and skidding on the muddy ground. Silas could hear the distant sound of wings—massive, leathery wings that could very well be their salvation.
Fearing for the worst, the moment they reached the clearing, there they were—Shadow, Hellfire and Dune, standing defiant amidst the trees. Shadow, a sleek black dragon with blood red wings and glimmering red eyes, snorted clouds of steam into the air. Meanwhile, Hellfire, with scales of molten red crimson, glared at the intruders, flames flickering at the corners of his mouth, Dune growled from where she was, golden scales glittering like sand.
“We need to go! Now!” Silas shouted.
But it was too late. The military team unleashed their plan, aiming tranquilizer darts straight at the dragons. “Secure the specimens! Don’t let them escape!” came the command, echoing through the rain-drenched night.
“No!” Lucifer lunged forward, adrenaline spiking through him. Silas and Allison followed suit, their minds spinning with instincts to protect their dragons. As Shadow roared in fury, Hellfire retaliated, whipping his tail toward the soldiers and sending two of them crashing into the mud, Dune roared, beating her wings and pushing strong gusts of wind at them.
In the face of overwhelming odds, the trio made a decision. “Together,” Silas whispered. “We fight.”
Together, their bond set ablaze by the flames of their dragons, they leapt into action. Silas grabbed a fallen branch, using it to fend off the soldiers closing in on them. Allison utilized her agility to weave through the chaos, using the cover of shadows to her advantage. Lucifer, with a fiery determination that matched Hellfire’s spirit, urged his dragon to charge forward, blasting flames toward the soldiers while ensuring their friends had a fighting chance.
In the confusion, the military men began to fall back, their resolve crumbling.
“Get on!” Allison yelled, pointing at Hellfire and Shadow as she climbed into Dunes back. They didn’t need to be told twice. As they scrambled up the dragon’s back, everything felt surreal—adrenaline pulsed through them like electricity, and the world melted away in the rush of wings and fire.
With a single powerful beat, Hellfire and Shadow took to the skies, Dune soaring close behind. Rain pelted against their faces as the trio soared higher, leaving behind the chaos of the cabin and the soldiers scrambling below. As cushioned within the warmth of their dragons, Silas, Lucifer, and Allison exchanged glances; elation mixed with the stark realization of what they had left behind.
“We’re free for now,” Silas breathed, his heart pounding with euphoria and fear.
“Yes,” Lucifer replied, casting a glance back toward the winding rivers and dense forests. “But we have to stay vigilant. They’ll come after us again.”
Allison nodded, her voice steady yet firm. “We’ll find a place to hide—to regroup. Together, we’ll protect them.”
And with that promise echoing in the stormy sky, they soared into the unknown, the weight beneath their wings the fire of a tale yet untold, a journey of freedom, discovery, and the unity of the extraordinary.
